TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — The Topeka City Council has delayed taking up a public nudity ban because it cancelled its meeting to honor a slain police officer.

WIBW reports a council member suggested the ban after a nude man strolled the streets of south Topeka in August. It’s unclear how long the meeting originally scheduled for Tuesday is postponed. It was cancelled after the weekend shooting of police Cpl. Jason Harwood.

State law and city ordinances do not ban public nudity, although state law prohibits it in the context of sexual arousal.

The much-discussed naked man, Jerry Beyer, said Tuesday he wasn’t trying to protest anything. He says he was standing up for his “natural self.”

The proposed ordinance would make intentional violations a misdemeanor offense.
